I have a Lenovo T420 with Intel and Nvidia graphics. On upgrade to Ubuntu Saucy, I had to purge and reinstall bumblebee-nvidia to get beyond optirun failing to find a GPU driver. Now, "optirun glxgears" and "optirun sol" succeed, but optirun fails on 2 Virtual Life viewers that it supported in the past, Cool VL (CoolVLViewer-1.26.8.34-Linux-x86) and Imprudence (Imprudence 1.4.0 beta2). In both cases, the error output is huge, but it starts with

libGL error: failed to load driver: i965

and

libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

From the little I can discover, i965 is an Intel graphics driver, which should not be invoked at all. I haven't found any information about swrast. I suspect that some of the X configuration associated with Bumblebee has some Intel dependence that is invoked on certain library calls, but not others. I haven't discovered any definite information on this line.

The Cool VL Viewer runs without optirun, but complains about the insufficiency of the Intel graphics.

I worked around the problem, without understanding the root of it, by entering two symbolic links:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri /usr/lib64/dri

creates

/usr/lib64/dri -> /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri

and

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri /usr/lib32/dri

creates

/usr/lib32/dri -> /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri

So now the libraries are found correctly

I have a similar problem and I got the swrast error to go away after running:

apt-get install libgl1-mesa-swx11

Now optirun glxinfo runs ok.
